Martuni's Tequila & Wrecking Balls
Sooooooooooooooooo UPDATES!
First off.. MARTUNI's on 10/7:
I wasn't nervous all day.. not until the car ride to Martuni's. I started singing in the car to warm up and immediately having a panic attack. Although this time was different.. this time my muscles in my mouth started by throat stayed open. So I could sing fine - just my face looked like someone had hooked my lips backwards lol. Soo.. progress I guess not I guess I haven't gotten passed this.
At Martuni's I get a Hot Toddy but with tequila.. and boy did that warm up my throat and melt away the nerves.
I went 2nd and felt calm and collected as I walked up to the mic.
After singing the first song, my nerves and started creeping in towards the end of the second song. However, my throat stayed open.. hands were clamping and clawing and my mouth was trying to freeze and be stuck but I pushed through. I think for the first time I didn't suck! Woohoo!
And now..
I signed up for guitar lessons - I decided it was time to finally have something that holds me accountable to learning and practicing - which is awesome! 2 lessons down now and I'm already learning so much.. my guitar teacher assures me that soon I'll be moving towards actual chords and learning how to sing and play very soon :) I can't wait to master this thing!
So my OCTOBER PROJECT: a Cover of Miley Cyrus' WRECKING BALL + Video
Song recorded and edited! Listen to it here:

Now this weekend I'll be shooting the video while singing along as diva-mode as I can and will learn how to edit the video HOPEFULLY before Thursday, 10/31 EOD :)
Stay tuned!
Sorry it takes me so long to update - I promise it's only because I've been SUCH a busy bee.. practicing singing every day, voice lessons, guitar lessons, daily guitar practice, recording, editing the recording etc etc..
Either way.. other covers I'm thinking about doing:
* Grace Potter - Oh La La (Paris)
* Katy Perry - Dark Horse
* Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All
* Taylor Swift - RED
Thoughts?

And Tonight We're Back!
Hey all!
I know it's been a while, but don't worry I've been working a ton. Tonight I'm singing at Martuni's again! Holy moly right? It's been 3 months since that awful last time (lobster claws + muscle paralysis = awesome night). Tonight we try this again.
The 4 songs I'm singing are (in order):
* When You Say Nothing At All - Alison Krauss
* Skyscraper - Demi Lovato
* Te Lo Dije (I Told You So) - Carrie Underwood
* Who You Are - Jessie J
Should be a fun 4.. a nice ramp up from a calm, sweet song to a more emotional and dramatic song, to more power ballads.
The only issue with tonight is that I have an awful throat pain and fever, so I'll be EXTRA raspy tonight - we'll see how this goes.
Updates and pictures soon! Wish me luck!
Best,
Missy

When You Say Nothing At All - Live Cover
Hey all!
I finally got the full song uploaded from last week's performance. As I've mentioned before, every last Wednesday of the month is a Performance Day. This last performance, my voice teacher and I decided to go with something a bit sweeter... It was OKAY. I was a ding dong and did NOT warm up before singing so it's not by best but hey.. it's alright for a tiny performance day.
Check it out here: http://youtu.be/iiWhVtEUFK0
And here:
I'll upload the sound clip to Sound Cloud if it doesn't sound horrible.. that room has a solid echo..
I'm currently working on a spanish version of Carrie Underwood's "I Told You So".. my voice teacher wants me to perform that at Martuni's in a few weeks and then he wants to record it and release it! EEEEEK! We'll see how I do :)
Let me know what you think!

Mini Performance Night - When You Say Nothing At All

Tonight was the group performance class and my awesome Tio Jorge was able to come! You'll see a full video soon but below is a link to the clip he caught after I FINISHED the song. It's me going over this one lyric that my voice teacher asked that I do with more emotion..
Check it out :)

Clarity Upgraded and Reloaded
Alright, finally did it!
Above is the link to my updated video for Clarity. This time with significantly BETTER audio and an updated video. Recorded this during my voice lesson with my voice coach into an actual recording mic.
Now the video isn't 1000% in line with my singing because free video editing software sucks and it was super tricky aligning anything but we did our best! :)
Anyway, hope you like it!

Clarity
Hey all!
It's been a while - sorry about that. Been traveling a little bit and working a ton.
I HAVE been practicing singing AND guitar so no worries, just haven't actually blogged about it.
I did a take of Clarity again but this time in a more professional audio engineering sense - thank you epic voice coach.
Check it out here:
If the above link didn't work, try here: http://snd.sc/13Dtsvf
Let me know your thoughts! I'm noticing my coach but a slight reverb in there that I'm hearing occasionally throughout the song.
Anyyyyway,
In the meantime, I'm working on defining a 6 song set for a restaurant / lounge performance coming up - any thoughts you have based on the songs I've sung, please let me know!
Also, if you have recommendations of songs I should practice and try and cover - please please comment about them and let me know!
I'm thinking about trying Taylor Swift's RED. I really like the song and it's really current right now. I'm also toying with the idea of trying Sara Bareilles' song BRAVE. I love the message in that one - even though her songs aren't normally my style.
Anyway, until later! Let me know your thoughts on this clip of Clarity!
I'll be uploading it to YouTube with a NEWER video - since this is a better representation of my voice than the one that's currently on YouTube - that one is me SUPER nervous and it shows.
I've also FINALLY ordered a nice pretty mic that's attached to a semi professional sound booth - so my covers will sound a million times better the more I use it. It's the Editors Keys sl300 Studio Mic Set.
Next steps are figuring out what software to learn and use :)
Until later :)

"Addicted" Live Cover
So.. Another push to post something..
Again, excuse the insane amount of nerves I had.. Anxiety and panic hadn't gone away yet.
I stumbled with getting through tears and a closing airway in the beginning of the song.. But I think I found more comfort halfway through..
Click on link below to see performance video..
